As if the 2016 Summer Olympics weren’t already mired in controversy, there’s another, troubling new report out of Rio de Janeiro.
According to UOL, witnesses told the Brazilian publication that a bizarre skit involving Gisele Bündchen took place at the opening ceremony dress rehearsal on Sunday. The strange segment allegedly features the retired supermodel as the victim of a simulated assault and robbery.
Below is a rough translation of a snippet from the article.
Another curiosity was on account of a passage where Gisele Bündchen, parading to the sound of “The Girl from Ipanema,” was approached by an actor on the scene that resembled a robbery. In the end, however, occurred the message of peace…
Still in the first hour reserved for the performing arts, the flight of a replica of the plane 14 Bis drew the attention of all. Soon after, the course is free for Bündchen’s parade of more than 100 meters. At this time, there will be a simulation of assault.
Early reports about Gisele’s involvement with the festivities indicated that she would be serving as the host of what was being billed as the “sexiest ever” opening ceremony. While details are scarce on what exactly will go down at the show, 6,000 scantily clad dancers are expected to join Tom Brady’s wife at the event.
The Olympics opening ceremony will take place at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Friday, August 5.
